Biz leaders throw their suppport behind Candlestick bill

As we told you last week, Daly recently introduced a resolution that would put San Francisco on record against SB 792, which would authorize a land swap out at the Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point redevelopment area. Daly has a litany of complaints in his bill, and other community members and groups are also objecting on the grounds that the public will have to give up too much open space at Candlestick State Recreation Area for a private developer, Lennar. (You can see a video outlining those concerns here.)

“This public private partnership proposes to invest tens of millions of dollars in a State Park that has been chronically under-funded at no cost to the state or the city’s general fund, providing a significant benefit to the state as well as to the citizens of San Francisco,” the letter reads.
